Marine Confined Space Entry / Rescue

Duration 8 hr (broken in to training segments as required)

Max Class Size: unlimited for 4 hr theory but 12 pax for the second 4 hr practical training.

Meeting the requirements of the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (SOR/2010-120) this course combines a unique combination of theory and practical training to keep your workers competent. With literally hundreds of designated confined spaces on each ship confined space entries ranks as one of the highest risk activities. If a worker enters a ballast tank and has a medical emergency or is overcome by the conditions of the space, you must be able to rescue that person immediately.

Our training program combines a theory segment to cover the confined space requirements to enter and work in the space but also focuses on rescue. We discuss the principles of rescue and complete a series of practical scenario based evolutions to develop competence and confidence. The equipment we use and recommend is simple and practical such that the learning curve is achievable for all crew. The equipment works in every situation and is perfect for the marine environment. We of course can adapt to train with whichever equipment you currently use.

We have trained entire fleets of ships throughout Canada and have had great success with the program.

Refresher Plus Program

It is our recommendation that confined space training be completed every two years. We have developed a training module that combines other 4 hr training courses with a 4 hr confined space rescue refresher course. Therefore we can provide a new element of your required training but add a rescuer refresher to keep skills and confidence high on an annual basis.

Marine Lockout – Tagout

Duration: 4 hr

Max Size – unlimited

The importance of Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) cannot be overlooked. Not only a requirement by law, a LOTO program keeps your workers safe from hazards. Working in confine spaces add a higher degree of risk that further emphasizes the need for consistently accurate lockouts. Onsite Rescue will work with your current LOTO program to deliver a comprehensive LOTO message for your entire crew. We have created a new program to that combines the LOTO 4 hr program with a confined space rescue refresher. This maximizes training time on your vessel and keep your workers skills and confidence up.
